Eduardo José Magnin [http://www.playerhistory.com/Default.aspx?page=player_details&playerID=66277 Full name and place of birth] : "PlayerHistory.com" website.] (born February 17 1969 [http://www.eufo.de/football/sui/1999/lausorts.htm Confirming date of birth and clubs] : "Eufo.de" de icon website.] in San Jerónimo, Santa Fe) is an Argentine former football (soccer) defensive player, mostly remembered for being dismissed by the English referee Gary Willard only after the showing of three yellow cards during a European club match.

Career

Magnin started his professional playing career in 1990 with Unión de Santa Fe, [ [http://www.informexeneize.com.ar/apertura_1990_todas_las_fechas.htm Team lineup, Unión de Santa Fe] , including Magnin, September 2 1990: "Informexeneize.com" es icon website.] spent the 1994-95 season with San Martín (SM) before returning to Unión for two more years, and in 1997 he joined Club Atlético Huracán. [ [http://pdf.diariohoy.net/1998/04/17/cla10y11.pdf Mentioned as a Huracán player] , April 17 1998: PDF file at "Diariohoy.net" es icon website.] After only one season with Huracán he joined CD Badajoz in Spain, and then spent one season (1999-2000) at FC Lausanne-Sports of Switzerland.

During this period he was involved in his most notable incident, coming in a UEFA Cup first round tie at the club's ground, the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise, in September 1999. The player received cautions in the 41st and 66th minutes of the game against Celta Vigo of Spain, the second of which should have resulted in an additional red card and the removal of the player from the pitch. However, the referee, Gary Willard of England, failed to realise that Magnin had been shown the first yellow card, and allowed play to continue with the player still present. When Magnin then earned a 'third' yellow card four minutes later, he was finally shown red and dismissed. The match result (at 3-2 to Lausanne) was allowed to stand by UEFA, due to the club not having suffered a disadvantage by the incorrect application of the Laws of the game by Willard.

In 2000 Magnin returned to Argentina where he played once again for Unión and then for Nueva Chicago.
